I already predicted failure for an American-led military occupation of Iraq in February 1991 , right after the Kuwait war ended, writing then that an occupation lasting for more than some months “would probably lead to one of the great disasters in American foreign policy.” I reached this conclusion on the basis of the Iraqi populace coming “very strongly to resent a predominantly American occupying force.” Therefore, I concluded, as the ignominy of sniper fire buries the prestige of high-tech military superiority, “the famous victory achieved by Tomahawks, Tornadoes, and Patriots would quickly become a dim memory.” मैं विरोध का विभाजन करते हुए तीसरे रास्ते का सुझाव देता हूँ। कब्जा तो हारा जा चुका है, परन्तु युद्ध तो जीता जा सकता है। सेनाओं को इराक में रहने दिया जाये परन्तु उन्हें शहरों से हटा दिया जाये ।
